CICLOPS' Rev 49 Looking Ahead page is up. Highlights include a fourth monthy Voyager-class encounter with Tethys with 500m resolution over Odysseus (finally!)
Detailed mosaics of Rhea's prominent ray crater and points west are on tap for Old Scabby's second closeup. This should be a really cool periapsis passage to tide us over until the 10th of September.

Crater Chains:
Ive noticed there are a lot of these long linear features as well on Tethys, Rhea, and Iapetus, and yes even Dione. Ive started doing some fits to them and most do line up as radials to big basins, tho not always the biggest one such as Odysseus. Smaller basins and craters produce such secondary impact chains. We see something similar associated 100-km size craters on Callisto. It is when they fail to line up that they get interesting. that is why the big chains on Callisto must be tidally split comets, since there are no basins they can be linked to. ill have more to say on all this later but am currently working on the paper so have to focus on that. i note that the theory of disruption predicts that there will be no split comets at Saturn, due to its very low density.....
cheers,
paul

I'd like to know more about this. Does Jupiter break up comets in the vicinity of its "surface" or much farther out? If the former's the case I can understand how Saturn's density plays in, but if the latter - does a less dense object behave differently than a dense one (given same mass) at great distance, i.e. do they both not act as point gravity sources?
